I would like all to know how I and many others feel about our dear Mayor Jerramiah Healy.

We have to understand that the job of mayor in this city of over 250,000 residents is a difficult job -- all of the matters and issues cannot be resolved over night or even in a number of years. Mayor Healy has ensured that no police officers and firefighters have been laid off while other cities have had to eliminate these types of positions.

He has helped all of our residents from the very young to the most senior -- there are summer programs for our youth and senior programs in every part of the city. He has helped the working people and those less fortunate who need benefits. He brings the city together with all people and does not attempt to alienate our residents as does his opponent from downtown.

Mayor, we believe in your programs, your policies and most of all your high principles. We pray for your re-election.
